Today we recognize Red Dress Day, also known as MMIW (Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women). This crisis affects Indigenous communities across the world.

Indigenous women and girls are among the most vulnerable and disproportionately impacted by violence. It’s an uncomfortable truth but an important one we all need to face.

This issue reaches every community, on reservations, in rural areas, small towns, cities and our nations capitals. Many people know someone who is missing or has been taken too soon. The impact is widespread and deeply personal.

These women and girls were daughters, sisters, cousins, mothers, grandmothers, and partners. They are loved and they’re missed every single day.
